I really like lacie hard drives. they are very stable and rugged. Adorama makes it easy to get one.

Update my external hard drive

These LaCie Rugged drives are my ride or die. These are the only external hard drives I'll buy now, because they've never failed me. Not once in 10+ years. I have 5 now and they've saved me many times when I needed to access photos for clients from years and years back (so much faster than trying to download them from my off-site cloud backup). These drives give me so much peace of mind.

Best external hd out there

After the first use to back up information on Mac OS, Apple Support, who assisted with this process, identified a problem concerning the functionality of the hard drive. I was able to do an exchange at the store for the same model. Now, looking forward to have the new item working as expected.
My recommendation is - test before use.

****

I ordered the LaCie 5TB Rugged Mini USB to back up my back up and thus far it does not disappoint! It is small, about half the size of my older one and has one more TB of space. Simple to use, just attach to your computer and start backing up!

Small in Size But Holds A Lot!

I've used dozens of external hard drives and this seems to be right up there with the best of them... great price for the capacity and super easy to get up and running on a mac.

great external hard drive

This is the third LaCie rugged drives I have purchased and they are the best! Speedy data, rubber protected.

3rd Rugged drive - they are all working great!

I buy 1 or 2 of these every couple months. To have a permanent back up of my footage. Honestly at this point I should probably have a raid. But these work great for dumping footage on the go if that?s what you need too. 

I have purchased 15 of these over the last 8 years. And never had a single fail.

I have never had one fail

It?s everything that I need. I feel at ease k owing that it comes with a free back up cloud server.

LaCie 5tb external hard drive

It?s just like the photo.  Seems to be built pretty rugged.   I travel a lot and I hope this lives up to its claims.

Built rugged

This drive keeps every promise. It operates super fast and it even survived a shutdown of my computer due to a problem. 100% buy recommendation!

100% Buy Recommendation

A little slow to spool up, but satisfied so far!

Affordable storage, and a trusted name

Great product

LaCie hard drives are definitely worth the price tag. My toddler has dropped them many times and they hold strong!

Durable and reliable

I owned four Lacie drives, three were Rugged Minis. The oldest was purchased in 2014, the newest in 2017. I have never had problems with any of them. By that time I had to trash two drives from another manufacturer.

When I decided to add a second drive for Time Machine backups I only needed to decide what capacity Lacie Rugged Mini I wanted. With their proven reliability, there was no other choice.

Reliable Storage

Everything looks good but the Mirror function is confusing.

Mirror Function confusing

Worth it!

I love how sturdy it is! It was an awesome price for this much space.

Excited to have more backup storage for my images

I was impressed and happy with this gadget. . It is well built and the right price.

Excellent

If you're reading this, you probably already know that LaCie Rugged's are an industry standard, whether as a field drive or an in-office shuttle drive. These things are built to take abuse if necessary (though I advise not doing so). This was purchased as an upgrade on older legacy drives and, though I experienced a small hiccup in doing backups with other storage units, I'm confident in my purchase. 4 stars only because it's still using a USB 3.0 port, so transfer speeds are slower than 3.1 or 3.2, but at the very least, a cable for Thunderbolt ports is included, along with a USB-A cable for those still a few years behind. The price for 5TB of stable hard drive protection made sense and I chose this one over a slightly cheaper, less protected brand. NEVER plug it via a USB hub, and you should be safe.

The workhorse standard for media

A lot of storage great for my Photos. I also have the 1TB works well

Everything worked as expected except that the provided USB-C cord to connect my Mac to the LaCie 5T external drive did not work!  The other provided standard USB cord connected my Mac and the external drive just fine, and the first backup of my computer proceeded as expected, except that it was slow as molasses since the drive didn't have benefit of the much faster USB-C connection!

LaCie 5T Rugged Mini USB 3.0 External Hard drive

Great product for backing up all my photos and always carrying with me as an extra layer of redundancy.

Totally recommend it.

Works Great

Small and compact. Rugged and doesn't need a separate power cord.

Small but mighty

Lacie always comes through

I always depend on these hard drives when I am traveling and conducting scientific research.  They are sturdy and provide a great purpose for our needs.

Dependable!

I really like it. Easy backup and easy to take it along when traveling. I have two of them. One of them I have my thousands of pictures on and the other one I use for regular backup and the data of some of programs.

Review of LaCie 5 TB

The case the hard drive is thick all the way around and it transfers data fast

Great case and data speed

Very solid and stable so far (about a month). Using it for basic backup; quick and easy to use.
